"Show and Tell Friday"

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better!

My show and tell this week is more books. I found these school workbooks from 1929, 1933, 1935 and 1937 at the resale store a few weeks ago. They were $3.00 each. I'm sure they were much cheaper 70+ years ago!!

I love the pictures on the covers...

Here is a peek at the math workbook. There are plenty of pictures inside, some of them have been colored.

Click on the pictures to enlarge. It looks like someone didn't do their homework. :0)

Here is a page of riddles...

"I fall without a sound a sound. I cover all the world with a soft blanket of white. I keep the seed babies snug in their beds. What am I?

I come at night. I help the leaves turn red and yellow and brown. I help nuts and pumpkins ripen. I make pictures on your window. What am I?

My plan is to type up a bunch of these pages for fun summertime schoolwork and I would be happy to share them, just send me an email and let me know!

Kelli,Those books are a true treasure. The illustrations are just delightful.I didn't post a show n tell this time, but I truly enjoy each and every one you do. I will join in again from time to time if that's OK!!xoxo

Love the books that you found at the resale shop. You are so good at finding these type of treasures. I'm sure you will have fun using them this summer.

I posted my show and tell after all today. (Hehe) I'm supposed to be on a blogging break.I wasn't going to but knew I would be gone all week long next week. I knew I would miss all of you fellow blog friends if I didn't post today.

How fun! I have a few old books that have sentimental value. The pictures and coloring is often so neat and different than now. Thanks for hosting Show and Tell Friday. I really need to get my act together and join the fun soon!! Have a great weekend! Diane

Kelli,I love old books and you have found some really good ones! Isn't it nice that you can still use these books for teaching your children? I bought the old McGuffy readers and used them when I homeschooled my daughter. There was always a moral lesson to be learned in each story. I just love them!

Kelli I am sure you and the children will enjoy these books! Very interesting! I see that you have quite a few followers or shall I say participants of ~Kellis'show and tell!~ Iam enjoying browsing when time allows ...I seem overwhelmed these days...can't seem to catch up!Hugs to you and your family.NG

Hi Kelli!I'll bet you could enlarge some of the fun pics from these workbooks and embroider them on kitchen towels. I think the last one, the lady being chased by the mice would be adorable done up on a towel! So many projects, so little time! HUMPH!Have a great weekend!Kelly in MN

Those are fantastic. I love the illustrations in old children's books. I have some old illustrated children's books and have been meaning to scan the pictures so I can print them and frame them. That way I don't have to rip up the old book.

Oh, how fun! I love the pictures. Kelli ~ I can't remember the title of our old-fashioned, re-published grammar books, but I'm going to pull them out, find a link and send it to you. You and your girls would love them (You may already be using them - lol!).

What a wonderful treasure! I love old books, and these are a great find! Can you imagine all the children who learned so much from these pages...well, maybe except for the little one who didn't finish his work! LOLHave a blessed weekend,Amy

Welcome! My name is Kelli and I am originally from Ontario, Canada but now enjoy living in Texas with my three teenagers. Grace is 18, Emily is 17, and Benjamin is 15.
I'm a work-at-home mom and in my spare time I love to decorate, antique store treasure hunt, bake, and celebrate the four seasons.
Please join me as I share photos and stories, along with some recipes and favorite things thrown in for good measure!
